I removed a couple bits of the frame so that I could use this junk yard V-8 engine......the engine will be getting a shade tree Krylon rebuild.  Frame in white primer (still needs some tweaking), the engine is coming together and seems happy in it's new home.  It's a pony express so it's going to have to be red, white & blue right?   |

Removed the lower frame mounts, center down tube and replaced with a hoop to allow room for the trans/transfer case (only 2 speeds - giddy up & GO!) Used scrap plastic for motor & trans mount. A little filler, some sanding and the frame will be ready for a squirt of ivory paint.   |
